Who doesn't love lashings of chocolate spread slathered on top of freshly cooked, golden toast or piping hot, flaky croissants? As much as we love gorging on a rich, buttery dose of naughty Nutella, we don't especially love the calorific hit that comes with it.

But for chocolate lovers everywhere, there's a new spread hitting the online supermarket shelves that promises to deliver the same great chocolate flavour without the weight-gaining calories.

Sounds too good to be true? The new hazelnut and chocolate spread from musclefood.com, nicknamed 'Prutella', contains only 39 calories per 15g serving - that's LESS calories than an apple, which typically has around 52.

Low in fat and also scraping by on the sugar content with a measly 0.6g of sugar, this chocolate spread could well be the holy grail for sweet fiends everywhere, satisfying chocolate cravings in one handy and healthy hit.

Coined as the new 'super spread', this healthy sweet treat falls in line with the government's new initiative, encouraging families to cut their sugar intake by half. Containing only a quarter of the sugar content found in full fat chocolate spreads, and rich in calcium and milk proteins, kids and adults alike (including diabetics) can gorge guilt-free on this healthier version of a firm family classic.

Launching only last week, it's already received over 100 glowing reviews raving about the new product. musclefood.com's Darren Beale revealed: "Our team spent months researching and testing spreads to get the taste and the texture just right.

"Our spread is also great for dieters who are craving something chocolatey. Now you don't have to deny your body what it wants, you can treat yourself without having to worry about piling on the pounds."
